[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
Hi, I'm a 14 yo guy from Hungary. I think I'm an experienced user but n00b in development. And my dream is to become a developer. So I have these questions:

1: How can I port CM ROMs for x8?

2: How can I port from AOSP for x8?

3: What kind of PC do I need for it? (Like processor, RAM, etc...)

4: Do I need any programs on PC?

(I'm on windows xp professional)

Thanks anyway:

Android = linux so I would learn how to use linux
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] good4y0u:
granted im no android dev. However I have created programs in JAVA and basic ( + alice but I dont really count that as coding )
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
Sorry sorry mate :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] good4y0u:
well your going to need ADB . and most computers out there can handle developing. so anything id say that is greater then XP could dev. but speed if you want it to bring down loading time is good but that comes at a price. if you wanted to be on the safe side get something with i3-i7 and DDR3 ram . did i mention learn how to code? that is most important part is learn the way Linux works. because android is basically Linux in mobile form.

look at the first link first and if it doesn't have what you need you can wing it using the 2nd which is your basic files your going to need..

(i hope this helps more then before )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
I've been reading a lot about cases lately and currently have the VZW shell/holster combo.

The question is, does it fit? Some people said it fits but not perfect, others said it doesn't at all.

I'm very confused.

Anyone have any actual results?

I'm thinking of switching cases anyway since this one doesn't seem like it has enough protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boogie1077:
It fits, but not perfect.

It fits snug at the top but leaves a small gap across the bottom edge, leaving enough room for dust to get in. The phone has never popped out of the case on me but I do have to clean under there at least once a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
I think it fits the best (natural fit) when the extended battery is on, and the battery door is off. So basically the shell acts as a battery door. Otherwise there is a slight bulge in the case on the bottom if the extended battery door is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
It really does not fit. It looks like it might fit at first, but as said above, the bottom of the phone sticks out a little further than the lip of the case. What this means is that when you slide the phone into the holster, the bottom of the phone actually slides against the holster instead of the case only sliding against the holster. This worried me as it could eventually leave marks on the phone itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
I am trying this now and it does definitely fit like this. I'm a little worried not having the back on the phone will allow dust to get into places it shouldn't, but the VZW case seals it up fairly well unless you use the built-in stand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
To update my own thread.

I ended up getting the extended battery and it does not fit snug in the holster/shell combo. I did NOT end up trying with the battery door off as for one, I want to be able to use the phone as a whole and not have it in pieces and I do not want dust in the back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qydowski:
Hi Guys,

i have problem with my sgs2... few weeks ago i've damaged my phone by pluging headphones jack to soundboard with phantom (48V) turned on...

So now my phone thinks that the headset is connected all the time and when i make a call, sound and mic is going thru headset even if its unpluged, so i can't hear anything from speakr and microphone is turned of...

Now i'm running on CM9 experimental build - so i can't use app toggleheadset2 like before on CM7.

Is there any way to do software headset "unplug", e.g. to use terminal to route signal thru phone speaker and mic?

Thx

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tixed:
I've seen LED power indicator mentioned in a few reviews, but couldn't find it on photos. And I don't have Prime yet, only original TF.

So, is there really a power indicator on the power button on the tablet itself?

Also, if it IS there, I have a suggestion. There's an app Missed Message Flasher on market, which flashes LED or hardware button highlight on my phone (which don't have LED) when you got a new notification. Why don't someone make similar app for TF Prime? So with any new notifications it would flash even if screen is off.

I've found myself pressing power button just to check if I got a new messages in IM or a new email quite a lot during everyday use. Would be very useful just to look on the tablet and see if anything require my attention (new notifications) by flashing LED. Hope it's not too dim for that purpose, and power consumption should be miniscule. Yeah I know it's playing a sound when I got something new, but this isn't so convenient and I could be absent at the time when new message appears. Flashing or pulsating LED would be quiet and nice.

Maybe not as app, but as a part of custom ROM - I suspect this functionality would require root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Because it's in such a weird place you would never check to see the color of the light
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
edit: Ninja'd again lol

Its so small and located in such a way you would have to be looking directly at, its probably not worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tixed:
Well, in very bright conditions - yes... But in not-so-bright-usual-geek-dungeon even blinking reflection on the table or wall is enough. Again, I don't (yet) have one to test the brightness myself, so this is only a speculation :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
Personally, if I am in the same room as the TP, its in my hands anyway lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Not worth it

As others have said, the light is too small, and in a place that the odds of having it in your line of sight would be minimal. You would only have a 25% chance that the top edge of the unit would be in line of sight. Good idea, really, but it plain wouldn't work well enough to be worth it.

BTW, it IS on the power button itself, which leads ME to a question. How is everyone's power button? Mine is stiff as a day old dead dog, and I find myself squashing, pushing, pushing again to get the unit out of sleep mode. My OG Transformers (all 3 of them, have a nice springy detent of perhaps 1/32" - 1/64" (damn America for never adapting the Metric System! I don't know my milimeters from my water meter) The new button is just a mush,, with no noticeable travel)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:

Not sure why this feature is so overlooked. I guess as more feature phone users upgrade they don't know what they are missing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tixed:
Okay then :( Well, at least it's clear that it _does_ have LED power indicator. Too bad that new button is stiff also. Not a deal-breaker, ofc, but I'd be pressing it quite a lot during use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yatyas:
However, once you get a keyboard dock it may be more visible when in the closed position
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
^^ this. It is tiny and only in the dark could you see it and only if the tablet has it's edge turned towards you. In reality, it is 100% worthless and I am surprised it is even there.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Just thought I'd share my stupidity with you guys. I was trying to get the safestrap correctly set up on my SD card. Well, I had a backup of my SD card on my desktop, but apparently when I moved everything back I cut pasted instead of made a copy, then I reformatted my SD card and lost everything. Crap! Oh well, fresh start not a HUGE problem. I had no ROM so I tried several times to RSD fastboot files onto my phone, but kept getting errors all day. Finally my battery died since I couldn't charge it in AP fastboot mode, when I took out my battery I noticed my SD card wasn't in. It was in my adapter from when I was partitioning it for safestrap, which is why I couldn't get the fastboot files to flash correctly. At this point my phone wouldn't turn on at all, left it plugged in all night, woke up, still wouldn't turn on. I thought I was in for a warranty exchange..again. So finally I did some research and did the, I believe it's called, MacGuyver method where you cut the end of a USB cable and use the pos/neg wires on the battery prongs. I got it to turn on and sat there holding the cables to the prongs for 20 minutes while the fastboot files flashed. My phone is now back to complete stock and I'm happy. I followed my stupidity with some smart moves. :) Go interwebs!

[HTC Sensation] aidanbree:
I am going to be parting company with my Sensation and want to put the handset back to an official HTC ROM. The person who will use it in future is not going to want to tinker like I have.....

I thought that the best thing to do is install a European HTC ROM rather than the T-Mobile UK one that was on it when I got it.

I have a few questions however

1 - What is the latest European HTC official ROM - and where can I find it

2 - Once flashed, will it lose ROOT? It is S-OFF at the moment too

3 - Will the Official ROM take updates OK thereafter?

Can anyone help?

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
S-Off lets you install custom ROMs, nothing more. If you flash any ROM, they can have root or not - depends on the ROM. So a stock ROM will not have root, although there are a lot of them floating around here *with* root added.
[HTC Sensation] naetaru:
Here is a link to the collection of offical RUUs for the HTC Sensation: Click me! :D, if you flash one of those you'll loose root but get straight back to stock, just plug your phone in and run the exe. I do not know about how the updates will go but I do however recomend that you get superCID before you install any RUUs that are not for T-Mobile, the guide for SuperCID is HERE

The world's first ereader with a color Mirasol display is finally on the market, but unfortunately it's running a severely locked-down Android by the Korean bookstore chain Kyobo. The Kyobo ui is entirely in Korean, the browser blocks downloads, and the reader app is crap. In other words, it's basically useless to anyone outside of Korea. A few enterprising Americans have imported them and been extremely disappointed. Will someone please take a look at this device and see if it can be rooted or if something else can be done to make it of use to the rest of us?

I also posted this as a question here on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432283
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] throwaway4096:
it is rooted since some time already.

files and instructions are in the following archive, but since instructions are in korean, i'll do a writeup below.

(argh! spambot won't allow this link, so you'll have to piece it together...)

www<dot>4shared<dot>com/zip/aLwRc7ZG/mirasol_rooting.html

edit: needed files are also in an attachment below

the gist is that you need to flash the boot partition via fastboot, setup root and busybox, and then modify secure->install_non_market_apps in settings.db.

you will need to have adb and fastboot from the android sdk working on your computer. There are many posts about this elsewhere, so i won't go into the details.

also, i only print filename without path, just find the corresponding file in the mentioned archive and modify the commands accordingly.

flash the boot partition via fastboot

first get your kyobo into fastboot mode (with usb cable attached) by pressing volume-down at bootup. timing here can be a bit finicky, but easiest seems to be to shut it down completely and then press just after pressing power.

issue a 'fastboot devices' on computer, if successful it should give you the response '???????????? fastboot' or similar. if empty or hangs, try again by rebooting the kyobo by pressing power with volume-up held (you can go into fastboot immediately after reboot by volume-down as expected).

when positive response above, you can flash by

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and then reboot by

fastboot reboot

edit: simplified fastboot instructions, thanks to smb_gaiden, whose button-poking-fu is strong.

setup root and busybox

with boot partition flashed you now have adb access, so let's use it. let the device boot as normal, and then issue the following.

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox

after this, install some apk's from the archive

adb install superuser.apk
adb install blackmart.apk

fix non-market apps setting

only thing left is to change a setting to allow non-market apps to be installed. if you don't care about your current settings (locale, etc), you can just push the settings.db from the archive like so:

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

if you *do* care about your settings, you'll need to pull the settings.db, edit it in some sqlite db editor (set secure->install_non_market_apps to 1) and push the result.

that's it. all rooted. now you just need to install angry birds and yer' set ;-)

Adb doesn't seem to start properly on device

Hello.

I did succeed in flashing the bootloader via fastboot.

However when I boot device - I see adb on usb only for some initial seconds, and then it disappears.

For that matter my device already had December firmware on it.

Any ideas how to activate adb on device?

Thank you,

Leonid
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] throwaway4096:
it may be that persist.service.adb.enable is reset, stopping the adbd service. try flashing the attached boot image instead, see if that fixes it. it is the same as above, except that persist.service.adb.enable is ignored.

edit: i took a look at the december update, afaict it should pose no problem (very few changes in there).

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] throwaway4096:
edit: the original instructions were snafu, so i replaced them with something that should actually work.

getting android market running on the kyobo

needed files are in the attached archive.

install like so:

adb remount
adb push DrmProvider.apk /system/app
adb push MediaProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb push Market-3.4.4.apk /system/app
adb push init.qcom.post_boot.sh /system/etc
adb push fix-shared-user.sh /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fix-shared-user.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fix-shared-user.sh

wait for the reboot, find market in the menu, and off you go (with downloads this time ;-)

if downloads still do not work after this, try re-executing the last line. android periodically writes to the file we are modifying, which might clobber our changes if unlucky.

May I seek help from someone who has rooted recently? I am finding it pretty difficult to get into fastboot. So some questions as I continue to play.

Which version is currently rootable? I bought mine this week and want to be sure it is still applicable with the method here.

Do I need a USB driver to work this hack? EDIT: Yes, found with a web search.

When do I press the volume keys? Immediately after power? Similar timing? When I see the flicker on the screen? When I see the logo? Before all that? EDIT: I did not need the volume up key to get into fastboot.

Thanks!

Hi, I am stuck with the same problem. Have tried many things?!:confused:

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Hi, Managed to root my kyobo after about 8 h trying. I installed the firmware update on my kyobo, that is found on the web, as instructed from the SD card. Then I installed fastboot and adb on my computer (search for 'how to install fastboot and adb'), as I found instructions for that as well. To enter fastboot I kept Kyobos, volume down button for about 10 sec, when booting the device (kyobo connected to computer with USB) - nothing happens -> however on my computers command window (cmd), 'fastboot devices' command produces an answer with '? ..' as it should. The biggest issue I had was to get adb working. For this purpose I installed and removed a couple of USB drivers - I don't really know how I got it to work finally.

You can tell if you have succeeded installing a useful usb driver, if you enter the 'adb devices' command in the cmd window and it returns a device number. Then you are ready to go with the rest of the commands/instruction as seen in the insturction of this thread.

From the blackmart application I was able to install many useful applications - the Launcher application can replace the Kyobo "home" application, which is very useful.

I installed android market as well, but so far I have not been able to download and install applications. I think It might be a permission issue between kyobo software and the installed android market?

@fatboy1976: rooting won't improve performance in itself. it makes the device better as you can install apps, but ofc the hardware is still the same.

@smb_gaiden: hah, excellent, i never tried that! original post updated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] northforce:
Hi,

Could you post the OS/processor version and driver name that got adb working for you. If you can also remember the keys pressed to put the Kyobo in the correct boot mode for adb, that would be nice too.

I have also managed to load apps on my Kyobo but that is without having su, Superuser, adb and Android Market working. The above info would be helpful in fixing that. Holding the volume down fir 10 seconds after pressing power on puts the Kyobo into fastboot mode. Adb requires a different mode and set of key presses. This is because there is a menu of boot options being displayed which can't be seen on the Mirasol screen. I suspect this is because of display settings within the boot.img but that is only a guess on my behalf.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaarlos:
Hi I will be back at my office on weekend and will check the status then. Anyway to use adb I have only to connect my Kyobo (power on and running) to my Windows 7 computer and then I can execute the commands. On the Kyobo it shows USB connected and USB debugging connected. More details on the driver will come when I return.

Update: I think the most important adb driver is found in adb_divers.zip package. Kyobo shows up as Qualcom HSUSB Device that inlcudes Android Coposite ADB Interface (Qualcomm USB ID). The driver being androidusb.sys build by Win DDK 1.0.
